Maryland State troopers have issued more than 1,000 traffic citations and warnings on highways in suburban Washington since March 15. On Sunday alone, troopers cited 22 drivers who were traveling at least 25 mph over the 55 mph speed limit on a section of the Beltway in Prince George’s County. One driver was caught going 136 mph.
Surge in speeding, reckless driving in America during pandemic
I’ve been listening to the drag racers going down our local roads here because they’re straight. The very few times I’ve ventured on to the interstate it’s been a NASCAR event.
Driving to the grocery store and back have become exercises in “let’s see if this car is going to pull out in front of me” and “I’m going to drive in two lanes at once because my phone is more important.”
I hope our lost tax revenue comes in from these wreckless people.
